how to change ai drivers from end to end in a rail motor

[misterchugg]

hi all

how do i change ai drivers from end to the other end in a rail motor
when its at the end of its route?

i can see get off train in surveyor, but i just want to change them to the other end so that it will look as if they are really driving them the right way

i'm using dreddmans 200 class railmotors

thanks

hi david

the thing is that i want to set it up in surveyor in the drivers orders menu down the bottom.
when they reach the end of their run i want them to change by themselves.
sorry, i wasnt very clear about that

thanks

It should do that anyway (well mine does anyway) in TRS2006-TRS2009 , unless there is no second cab on that loco???

Which ever way the AI goes it changes cabs and uses the second cab or if a loco with 2 control towers, it changes to the other side.

Cheers

Use the driver command "Run Around Ex".
If a train has an "engine" at each end this command will move the driver to the front cab.

i use dreddmans 2000 class railmotors in a 4 car setup.
the driver will not move.
he stays where he was placed, unfortunatly

hi andyz

when i go into driver command i can see it there,
but it will not show in driver setup.
i tried ticking runround, run around and run around ex singly and in twos or all three.

all that will show up in setup is run around

any suggestions?
thanks

Hi Ron

I run TRS2006, and the command runs fine for me. The only thing I can think of is this: The list of driver commands in Driver does not scroll. If there are to many commands installed, some may not be displayed at the bottom of the list. They are there but you can't select them.
If this is the case you may have to delete some other commands from the list to make room.
That is the only suggestion I can think of at the moment.
I don't have TC, so I dont know if the Runaround Ex command works in TC, others may be able to advise ?

cheers

Run Around EX

Ron,
It's definitely on the DLS but for some reason CMP for TRS2006 doesn't see it.

Its username is Run Around Ex (not Runaround --one word) and its kuid is kuid2:117667:83:2 by nicroman.

I downloaded and installed it last night and it does exactly what is stated in previous posts in both TRS2006 and TS2009.

Installation is a bit fiddly. You must enable it as a driver command, then save your session and close it; then open again to add it to your driver's command icon list in edit drivers setup.

Thanks for starting this thread, you have solved a problem for me with this.

hi peter

that did the trick

i re dl it from the dls and did exactly what you suggested

it now shows up

will test it in a session later tonight when i fix a few more problems that i have found

thanks

Hi Ron,

I see that it is a 2004 asset and now have it listed for download soon. Looking forward to trying it.

Cheers
Russell.

 

[misterchugg]

hi russell
let us know how you get on with it

cheers

You could always just give the driver the Move to train command, just pick the second motor car from the list.

 

[misterchugg]

hi mate
tried that and it dont work

i'll just have to put up with the way it is now

unless you know of a separate move to train kuid that i can dl and install

cheers

hi all

how do i change ai drivers from end to the other end in a rail motor

..... so that it will look as if they are really driving them the right way

ron

Do you mean change the cab view or change the driver "figure" you can see in the cab?

 

[misterchugg]

hi itareus

i mean the cab view so that it points the right way with the driver in there.
i didnt know you could also change the drivers figure.

please tell me how to do that

thanks
ron
